Martin Luther, early Lutheran, considers grace. Christ acted kindly to us, unworthy, by giving us mercy. Thus we should give kind service to unworthy neighbors.

Today, unworthiness is an excuse for everything from walling off these people, to using harsh language and mockery to convert them.

How can you A) consider your own unworthiness and B) exert kindness to unworthy people today?

Today in Labor History April 13, 1894: The Great Northern rail strike began in Helena, Montana. It quickly spread to St. Paul. The strike was led Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway Union. Workers succeeded in shutting down most of the critical rail links. Consequently, the owners gave in to nearly all of the union’s demands. The successful strike led to thousands of rail workers joining the new union. Debs would go on to lead numerous other strikes, run for president of the U.S. several times, including from his prison cell, and to cofound the revolutionary union IWW, along with Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood, Lucy Parsons, and others.
